Link, Globe

NOTE to SOLI types (Sol standing, holding globe or whip): Sol's stance can differ slightly from engraver to engraver and from mint to mint. Sometimes he is standing front, with one leg or knee slightly left or slightly right. These variations appear to be at the whim of the engraver and do not constitute unpublished types.

OBV: CONSTANTINVS AVG
